They look good too, I'll check the save soon.

[Maniac]

Corellion, after we get Doc:Ini, do you plan to switch to MCC asap and rush the SP asap with crawlers, or will you let the SP be completed at the natural production speed of Logic Loop?

[Corellion]

That is something I was planning to poll when I got around to it. It seems like a decision far too important to leave as an un-polled order. I have to run, though, so I'll post it when I get back.

[Drogue]

Do not change until the turn before either. We don't want anyone else rushing it before us. Also, do I have permission to rush ASAP if in the turn it looks like someone else will build it before us if we don't?

[Corellion]

I think that's an acceptable option.

BTW, you closed the thread, but topped it too. I think you should probably untop it (if Chaunk wanders in, he'll have a fit).

[Chaunk]

You know me well Corellion! I was just about to make a thread along those lines...

[Drogue]

Sorry, hit the wrong button. Have rectified.

2140 Turn Questions/Information

Corellion: I need orders for the Aurora crawler that was built last turn. It is currently moving SW along the road, as that is both towards an unused forest where it could crawl minerals, and towards Logic Loop if it is needed to rush the MCC.

Also your order for Apolyton Prime's build was against the poll. It is building a former in line with the poll as opposed to the crawler you ordered.

Another thing to discuss is that once we have built the MCC, do we want to switch to FM? We gain much in terms of research and ec, but is it worth it? If we go to war I say no. If not then it might be a good idea.

[Corellion]

Yes, sorry for the mix-up. What with the problems with Apolyton and the fact that I was running late for classes, I did that quickly, and unfortunately typed the wrong thing.

And Formers would have won 4-1, not 3-2... I changed by vote in the third (or fourth) post.

I'm now working on getting the turn, so I can put everything together... damn these 'Poly problems.

[Drogue]

Do not worry. All went ok. A few minor mistakes, but only for one turn, so no major problem at all IMHO

[Maniac]

Corellion, I just had a look at your latest orders. An extract:

(70,66) – Move to (69,69) to begin solar collectors

I was wondering what you would think of sending that former to build a road towards (76.66), the mineral in the Zetarian base radius? IMHO in our current stage of development minerals and a road network towards future areas of expansion are more important than a bit more energy.

[Drogue]

IMHO we need to send it to the base it needs to help build at.

[Corellion]

I was pretty much going to rewrite my orders from scratch, what with the recent developments, but I'll take that into account.

[Corellion]

Tentative orders while I do some more research, feel free to comment in the meantime.

Internal Affairs Orders:
2042


Formers:

Well besides the fact that I belive we should be doing our terraforming in the Present rather then 100 years in the Past I felt I might give a few coments.

First off I am very build oriented person and I favor Nutrients most of all and I avoid Forests except on the most worthless land.

I whent around most of the bases and tried to see what the next best tile to develop would be, here are my recomendations.

Logic Loop - Farm at 68/72 would alow us to realocate workers for a net +2 energy. Another farm at 68/70 would bost nutrients.

Mythical Matrix - A mine at 79/71 when worked by the new worker would take in 4 mins and 1 eng. This would excellerate colony Pod Production and help to make this Base a Pod factory for setlment of the rich North eastern territories (which we do not want to loss to the Drones if they are infact on our land mass).

Zetaris - Mine at 79/71 would bring in a huge load of minerals atlest 7 which could be crawled by the crawler Zetaris is making.

Pi Squared - A farm at 69/61 would incresse nutrients

Binary Bastion - Why are we building a Forest next to this city? When you open the base view that tile is unharvestable, this may have something to do with the Monument thing their. Are we shure the square will be workable?

Aurora - Developing the square that Miriams copter is on right now would be a good idea, its high elevation, moist, rolling and I belive it recives the +1 mineral Crater Bonus (The crater bonus can be tricky, I know for one it dose not aply to all squares that have the Crater label)

Also I must express my conserne over our lack of Recycaling Tanks. You guys may know something I dont but it would shure seem to be that we could use them in a number of our bases, I find that the long term exceleration effects are more then worth the investment. I think we should make them a Priority as soon as our war units are produced. Most of the larger bases could make them very quickly.
